Let me ask you this, do you think that the NDP looks good on their own (fiscally), or it it just with the train wreck that follows? In other words, are they actually good fiscally, or good in comparison? To me those are two different arguments.
I'll say they look good against the UCP and not great when you look at them on their own. To ideological and stubborn to make the difficult decisions when it mattered.

In your opinion.
The decisions were based on sound economic theory. I get that you are a deficit hawk and don't agree with Keynesian economics, we've been over that, but the constant belaboring them for being stubborn or moronic or stupid or whatever is tiring - instead of just saying you don't agree with the theory, you constantly make digs that their actions were wrong because they aren't what you would have wanted.
I get it though, I think neoliberal/supply-side/trickle down is stupid, moronic and stubborn. I guess the difference for me is we have decades of evidence showing us that the Keynesian economic strategy works for the masses, while the neoliberal strategy works only for the rich.
